Ray Arthur Wang (Director, Producer, Pianist): Raised in the San Francisco Bay Area of California, self-taught filmmaker Ray Arthur Wang (pronounced Wong) was first intrigued by the art of filmmaking at the age of 11. Moved by La Nouvelle Vague (The French New Wave) of the '50s-'60s, RAW's artistic vision is now inspired chiefly by the work of Stanley Kubrick, Ingmar Bergman, and Wong Kar-Wai. In '04, he founded Raw Power Productions, Inc. with one main mission: social change.

He holds a Ph. D. and M.S. in Electrical Engineering (EE) from Stanford University, a B.S. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science with music minor from UC Berkeley, and the '99 National EE Honor Society's Most Outstanding EE Student in the Nation Award.

Having traveled to all 7 continents including 65 countries and all 50 states in the USA, RAW finds his greatest passion in making movies. From his Wikipedia page: "On one of many stops on the film festival circuit, his feature directorial debut 'Carma' in 2005 was named 'Best Picture' and Wang 'Indie Auteur of the Year' for his work as director, writer, producer, composer, and actor on his supernatural thriller with a conscience, while Film Threat claimed, 'Wang is a director to watch'... Wang was a producer on the award-winning women's rights documentary and pioneer in online film fund raising, 'Tapestries of Hope', featuring Betty Makoni, one of the Top 10 CNN Heroes of 2009, and released 2010 nationwide in over 100 theaters."
